Thanks Brian, Setting the environment variable worked. Dbi/dbm is now
installed!
To clarify my other posts, my data is on '/local/mysql' where '/local' is
defined as most of disk available.
mysql is running as a user and I was trying to run the install dbi/dbm as
root. It would not run as the user either.
I did have a little problem in setting the variable. I used the command:
export MYSQL_UNIX_PORT='/local/mysql/mysql.sock'
Then displayed the environment with
export
I sure you know this but thought I would explain what I did in case some
one else has a similiar problem.
Thanks agzin, Dave
